Transformers Trading Card Game: Arriving to Canada in December

According to its official social media channels, the ever popular Transformers Trading Card Game will arrive at Canadian retailers in December!

This great news even gained an approval seal of “Finally!” from Transformers artist Marcelo Matere, whose artwork is prominently featured in the game. Congratulations to our fellow card game players in Canada and remember to join in the discussion on the 2005 boards!

The official companion app is out. You can use it as a card checklist and to keep track of your's and an opponent's health during a game. Not all of the cards are on the app at the moment.Transformers TCG on Twitter

I loved the art, but if I remember right, there wasn't much game was there? You could level up your cards, and pick a 3 bot roster, but then there wasn't anything to do in a match, or really any rules, it was just a stat stackup? And maybe a lottery to get characters (or stacking the lottery via micro-transactions?)

I don't remember much of it, but I think I hated it. I am glad we get the art in another format now, I kind of wish we had gotten a big art book for the wonderful illustrations too, but having cards in hand is also nice.

Yeah the art is what drew me to that game, the actual "gameplay" was pretty shallow. It still had it's hooks in me for a little while tho. It just got too grindy & time consuming to keep my attention.

But holy Primus was the art glorious. I specifically remember the Dr. Arkeville ~ Nemesis Prime event, and keep hoping they release a Dr. Arkeville card in wave 2 or 3 of the tcg with that artwork

Now you have me trying to remember the game. I thought it was that you level up to better cards and have "battles" in events to collect more cards. I was flipping through the art on the Wiki the other day to see who we are getting. I keep crossing my fingers they use some of the art I have procured from the game but I think later waves will be mostly new art.

Man, Transformers: Legends was such a fun game, I invested so much time in that game (which is why I'm drawn to the art now)

Good times, good times.

"One of my favorite aspects of design is coming up with creative downsides to balance out powerful effects (paging Static Laser of Ironhide). Another joy is finding numbers that give nuance and depth to vanilla cards. Both of those come together in Erratic lightning."
